[plug] Linux Driver Site

[Simon Scott]

	For all intents and purposes, there is no such thing.

	Most cards are supported in the kernel via modules, and usually if
you have a card that isnt supported you are either out of luck, or *maybe*
you can find a module or kernel patch to help.

	Usually if your card doesnt work it is less hassle to buy another
one or swap cards with a windows user.

	Its an interesting difference between windows and linux users -
linux users buy hardware to match the OS. Windows users dont normally need
to worry, although the quality of cards/drivers varies greatly and you can
make windows more stable by choosing hardware carefully.
